Meanwhile, a month had passed.
The Metropolitan Police Department had been unable to determine the method used by the murderer on Moon Shadow Island.
However, due to the presence of Conan's audio recording, the case was considered closed under pressure from various parties.
There was no other way!
The perpetrators of the previous two incidents were not found.
If the Moon Shadow Island incident wasn't closed, the public pressure would be even greater.
There were still many leads to be investigated in the Moon Shadow Island incident.
For example, where were the drugs sold to, and where did they originate from?
Unfortunately, these matters could only be investigated discreetly.
As Dao Yuan Shun began placing his evil god statues throughout the Neon regions.
The Metropolitan Police Departments across the land found themselves increasingly busy.
"A vicious murder case occurred in Okinawa."
"A criminal in Yokohama set fire to an entire department store."
"A murderer in Hokkaido was shot dead on the spot."
.
Dao Yuan Shun whispered softly, reading from the newspaper, that some cases were more or less connected to the evil god statues.
It's just that not many people noticed it.
Comparatively, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's pressure suddenly decreased.
Perhaps it was because someone else was sharing the burden.
"It's time to stir things up in Tokyo."
Dao Yuan Shun muttered softly, he had no intention of letting Tokyo off the hook.
The main reason was that he wanted to collect more souls and blood essence from the evil god statues scattered throughout the regions.
He couldn't possibly send the Gu虫 to travel all the way for a little bit of soul and blood essence.
That was simply too wasteful!
Especially when the further the Gu虫 traveled, the greater the strain it placed on his spiritual energy.
Furthermore, after a month, it was time for Kato Shin'nan to take action.
This man was eager to demonstrate his loyalty.
If someone wanted an opportunity, they shouldn't miss it.
He already had some ideas about how to stir things up.
Through the perspective of the Gu虫 in the Mouri family, he had been paying attention to Mouri Ran receiving an invitation.
To be precise, it was a wedding invitation from their middle school teacher, Matsumoto Sayuri.
Her father was none other than Matsumoto Kiyohisa, the managing officer of the Metropolitan Police Department.
He had some vague memories of the incident that happened at the wedding, but he didn't care.
Instead, he was quite interested in slapping the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in the face.
Perhaps this was some kind of influence of being a demonic cultivator.
They enjoyed dancing on the edge of a knife!
Coincidentally, during this time, Dao Yuan Shun had been using the materials collected by the Kato family to create some puppets!
These puppets had no cultivation whatsoever, essentially the same as an ordinary human body.
However, they had one characteristic: as long as they were not hit in vital areas, they wouldn't be affected by ordinary firearms.
The puppet materials were made of metal, not flesh and blood.
The drawback of such puppets was that they required Dao Yuan Shun's spiritual energy to control.
But Dao Yuan Shun wasn't a normal Qi Refinement cultivator. He was once a Golden Core realm existence.
He could easily control them while replenishing his spiritual energy by harvesting souls.
Currently, Dao Yuan Shun could easily control ten ordinary puppets.
"Get some tech weapons, and we'll be set."
"This time, I'll use the name 'Joker'!"
"Since the Shinkansen incident, he hasn't made an appearance."
Dao Yuan Shun quickly made his decision.
As for tech weapons, they were easy to get.
There were many underground gangs in Neon.
These gangs would often stash some weapons in secret.
They even had connections with black market arms dealers.
Sending a few Gu虫 would be enough.
A little hypnosis would be enough to get them some weapons.
Of course, Dao Yuan Shun didn't forget to draw a big picture for Kato Shin'nan.
That night, Kato Shin'nan returned to his room.
He found a piece of paper on the bedside table.
The paper listed all sorts of medicinal herbs!
The handwriting was the same as before.
"Finally, I'm waiting for you!"
Even Kato Shin'nan couldn't help but feel excited.
After all, the pills given to him by that adult a month ago were almost gone.
The thought of returning to his old, frail state made Kato Shin'nan instinctively resistant.
Therefore, he was even more eager to get in touch with the Hidden Sect.
He hadn't expected that adult to not get in touch for a month.
Kato Shin'nan was almost starting to lose hope.
Fortunately, the information finally came.
He quickly saw a sentence at the bottom of the paper.
If he could get medicinal herbs that were over 300 years old.
Then that adult would help him apply for the status of an outer member.
This made Kato Shin'nan even more excited.
After all, if he could become a member of the Hidden Sect, he would have more opportunities to come into contact with the extraordinary.
Even if he was just an outer member.
He had half a month to collect the medicinal herbs.
So Kato Shin'nan planned to have his financial backers travel to various parts of the world.
He was determined to secure this outer member status!
